What:The 1945 film version of Noël Coward’s breezy West End hit about a ghost stars Rex Harrison as the initially sceptical Charles and Kay Hammond as the deliciously wicked wisp of ectoplasm. Good as the two leads are, the wonderful Margaret Rutherford steals the show as the dotty medium who inadvertently raises the dead and then has to find a way of sending her packing.

Why:It’s showing as part of the centenary celebrations of the great British director David Lean. Unusually for Lean, the visuals are a touch underwhelming, mostly due to the stagey nature of the piece. But the effervescent one-liners and Oscar-winning special effects keep things bubbling along.
